8. TOP MOUNTED FRESH AIR SUPPLY OPENING

A. Top Mounted Fresh Air 1


The optional fresh air intake provides a 4” round duct
connection on top of the unit (see Figure 12, for right and left
hand version). The fresh air is discharged upstream of the DX
coil through the discharge collector box.

Do not allow incoming air to bypass the DX coil,


otherwise damage to unit may occur.

STEP 2. a) Remove red cover from actuator body, b) if


black cover has become loose, position it in place, and c)
slide back onto actuator.
Unit can be selected with the fresh air opening located on top
left or right hand side for ease of installation.
It is recommended that applications requiring 10% or more 2A
outdoor air utilize a pressurized fresh air system. Unit cabinet
static pressure at the return air opening is not designed to draw
10% or more in passive fresh air systems.
It is recommended that fresh air with a high humidity ratio is pre-
treated before entering unit assembly using energy recovery
ventilators or make-up air units. Fresh air duct inside unit is
insulated to protect unit from condensation in the event of high
humidity air however excessively moist fresh air over prolonged
periods can potentially result in condensate inside unit or closet.

Recommend fresh air is pre-treated before entering


unit assembly by energy recovery ventilators (ERV)
or make-up air units to avoid condensate developing
inside ducts and equipment.

Unit comes with 4-1/4” return air sleeve. Front supply openings
will come with 4-1/4” supply plaster flange.

B. Top Mounted Fresh Air with Motorized Damper


Same features as in the top mounted fresh air intake option and
including a motorized damper assembly inside the discharge
collector box similar to depiction in Figure 12. Damper assembly
can be easily removed, for servicing see steps below. Motorized
damper assembly opens during FAN ON operation. See
Appendix for electrical schematic. For other control options
please contact the factory.

During transportation, handling or installation of the


cabinet, excessive handling can cause an inner black
plastic cover to come loose and jam the actuator 2C
preventing the damper from opening.

During start-up check that the damper is opening when unit fan
is running. It can take 20 seconds to fully open. If damper opens
unit is operating as intended.
If it fails to open the cause is likely a loose cover preventing
actuator from rotating. To remove actuator and service the
damper refer to instructions below:

14. SYSTEM FLUSHING AND CLEANING


After the piping system is complete, and prior to connection of
the refrigeration chassis, the risers should be flushed and
cleaned to ensure proper start-up and continued efficient
operation of the system.
1. Ensure that the supply and return riser shut-off valves are
closed at each unit.
2. Using flexible hoses or piping, connect the supply and
return stub-outs in the unit located at the end of the riser
run(s). If the building has more than 10 floors, connect the
supply and return stub-outs in the last two units to divide
the water flow and reduce pressure drop at the pump.
(See Figure below)
3. Open the shut-off valves in the units that have had the
supply and return risers inter-connected.
4. The water circulation system should be filled with clean
water using the make-up water supply. The air vents
should be open during initial filling (Do not allow the
system to overflow).
5. With the air vents closed, start the circulating pump and
then crack each air vent to ensure that all air is bled from
the system. (Make-up water must be available in
sufficient volume to replace the volume occupied by the
air that is bled off.)
6. When all air is vented, and the water is circulating under
pressure, the entire system should be checked for leaks.
Make any repairs as required.
7. Set the loop temperature controls to raise the
temperature to approximately 85oF. Perform a visual
check for any leaks that may have occurred due to the
increased heat. Repair as required.
8. Open the drain at the lowest point in the system (make-up
water flow rate must be equal to rate of drain bleed).
Continue to bleed system until water leaving the drain is
clear, but not less than 2 hours.
9. Completely drain the piping system.

After the initial Flushing, the system should be chemically


cleaned. The procedure for re-filling the system, and
circulating the cleaning solution, is the repeat of the above
flushing method.
The services of a professional water treatment company are
recommended with regards to the type of solution to be used,
and the duration of the cleaning application.
Once the cleaning process is complete, shut off the circulating
pump and completely drain the system. Refill the system with
clean water in preparation for connection of the refrigeration
chassis, and system start-up.

It is strongly recommended a professional water


treatment company is used to perform on-going
maintenance of water loop including chemical
analysis, and if necessary flushing. The water loop
testing should be performed at intervals
recommended by the professional water treatment
consultant. It is up to the customer to carry out
adequate water loop maintenance over the lifespan
of the units otherwise damage to the units may
occur.

R-410A QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

Refer to Installation Instructions for specific installation requirements.

• R-410A Refrigerant operates at 50 - 70 percent higher pressures than R-22. Be sure that servicing
equipment and replacement components are designed to operate with R-410A.
• R-410A Refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.
• Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig. DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.
• Recovery equipment must be rated for R-410A.
• Do not use R-410A service equipment on R-22 systems. All hoses, gages, recovery cylinders,
charging cylinders and recovery equipment must be dedicated for use on R-410A systems only.
• Manifold sets must be at least 700 psig high side, and 180 psig low side, with 550 psig retard.
• All hoses must have a service pressure rating of 800 psig.
• Leak detectors, must be designed to detect HFC refrigerants.
• Systems must be charged with refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device in the manifold
hose.
• R-410A can only be used with POE type oils.
• POE type oils rapidly absorb moisture from the atmosphere.
• Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from POE type oils.
• Do not use liquid line driers with a rated working pressure rating less than 600 psig.
• Do not install suction line driers in the liquid line.
• A liquid line drier is required on every unit.
• Do not use an R-22 TXV. If a TXV is to be used, it must be an R-410A TXV.
• Never open system to atmosphere when under vacuum.
• If system must be opened for service, evacuate system then break the vacuum with dry nitrogen and
replace filter driers.
